OSGF Director Ketevan Khutsishvili said that OSGF organizes media competitions to encourage journalists to write about human rights in health care and related problems.
The goal of the competition “Human Rights and Health Care” was to draw public attention to topics such as the rights of patients receiving palliative care and the challenges faced by people with limited abilities or HIV/AIDs, as well as the availability of treatment and access to services.
The media competition was announced in July 2013. Fifteen journalists from TV, print and online media took part in it.
